(It's brighter than the photo but you know my crappy photography skills)

Now I have to say that I'm really proud of my brain for

allowing my hand to slop that stuff on so loosely and not try to make it all perfect and pretty.

Mind you I did have Queen playing super loud, much to my teenage daughter's (she has no taste) disgust. I always think the loud noise cancels out the brain noise.

Then came the hard part (for me anyway),

the chocking under the little canvas.

You'd think I'd could get it right as it's only about 45cm across but no, I had to go and stuff it up as usual. Too many lumps under the canvas, in hindsight I only needed one chock in the middle but there you go.

The ink was looking good at first ....

starting to flow nicely, so I added the other colours and

the chocking disaster showed through.

The ink was flowing away from the chocked bits and

straight off the canvas. After some rather colourful language I

added some side packing and lots more ink.

It's dried better than I thought it would

and I have the most delicious ripples and

bumpy wumpy things happening.

I'll probably play with it to brighten it up a bit

(much to my teacher's disgust I'm sure).

But, I'll keep it loose.

Now for the hard part.... I might try this on a big canvas.

Oh boy, this could get really interesting and super scary.

There could be an almighty battle going on between little blonde, super tight arse brain and little left hand.

I'm going to have to have the music pumping at extreme levels.....my apologies to the neighbours.
